ANGELS CRY

Music & Lyrics by Mariah Carey, Christopher Stewart, Crystal Johnson
Released Sept 25, 2009; Song from the album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel


I shouldn't have walked away
I would've stayed if you said
We could've made everything OK
But we just
Threw the blame back and forth
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low
I'm still on the ground

I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces curled on the floor
Super natural love conquers all
'Member we used to touch the sky
And

Lighting don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
But we left it drift
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry

C'mon babe can't our love be revived
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry

Limitless omnipresent
Kind of love coudn't have guessed
It would just up and disappear in
The whirlwind
Here I am walkin' on this narrow rope
Wobbling but won't let go
Waitin' for a glimpse of the sun's glow
I know I can stand just pull me back up
Like there ain't no hurricane

It's just us
I'm willing to live and die for our love
Baby we can get back that shine

Cause
Lighting don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
But we left it drift
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry

Come on baby, can our love be revived
Bring it back and we're gon' make it right
I'm on the edge just trying to survive
As the angels cry

Baby I'm missin' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you
Lighting don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
But we left it drift
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry
